[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent Cartwright has sworn never to go back to Dry Gulch, the scene of a personal tragedy that left her with deep scars. Only the promise of justice for a loved one, or the chance to right a terrible wrong, might convince her to return to that desolate place.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent witnessed Lucinda Mayfield abandon a fellow worker who was being harassed by a group of rowdy railroad men. Lucinda, despite her reputation for boldness, simply looked away and pretended not to see. This act of cowardice filled Millicent with disgust and a deep distrust of Lucinda, shattering any admiration she might have previously held for the enigmatic woman.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent's unwavering determination, often fueled by her resentment, is a source of strength she doesn't fully recognize. However, she mistakes her stubborn pride for strength, refusing to ask for help or admit when she's struggling, which ultimately makes her more vulnerable.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Desperate for work after the tragedy in Dry Gulch, Millicent took the only job she could find: a position repairing railcars for the ever-expanding Prairie Firebird Railway.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent believes Josephine Blackwood sees her workers as nothing more than cogs in a machine, disposable and replaceable. This belief stems from witnessing Blackwood's callous disregard for worker safety, prioritizing profits over the well-being of those who toil under her command. Millicent recalls a specific incident where a fellow worker was injured on the job, and Blackwood's only concern was minimizing the disruption to the work schedule.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent views the labor movement with a mix of skepticism and hope.

They are paid less than their white counterparts and subjected to verbal and physical abuse. This systemic racism creates tension within the workforce and makes conditions even more unbearable for minority groups.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Josephine Blackwood built an empire, the likes of which this country had never seen. Every mile of track, every spike driven into the earth, was a testament to her will. The weak were trampled underfoot, their bones swallowed by the dust of progress.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Silas's unwavering optimism, his belief that things will always work out, makes him strong without him realizing it. He mistakes his stubborn refusal to ask for help as strength, when in reality it isolates him and prevents him from receiving the support he needs.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Susannah believes Josephine Blackwood sees her employees as cogs in a machine, replaceable parts in her grand scheme of railroad domination. This belief stems from a memory of a particularly harsh winter when several workers fell ill with pneumonia.
